Speaker Ryan lies about Obamacare

In this story Ryan lied to a constituent at a town hall meeting, saying Obamacare was in a "death spiral." That means that heath insurance gets so expensive that people would rather pay the penalty instead of buying increasingly expensive coverage. But the facts of course don't support this lie about Obamacare. To the contrary, enrollments are going up despite higher premiums. And yet again, facts don't register with Republicans because they don't fit their narrative, which has been factually proven to be ineffective at best and more beneficial to the rich, while more detrimental to the American public.
